Instead of measuring how life adapts to change in environment, look at how humanity changed environment and made IT evolve in adaptation to us.

When I ask that question, I am met by crickets, or eyes glazing over, or like DFM, lectures about evolution.

Evolution is the science of how life adapts to change in environment.

Humanity reverse applied this to evolve our environment to adapt to us. Specifically the structures we work, live, and move about in, from homes and buildings to the clothes on our backs, our cars, planes, ships, and even space vehicles.

All this surrounds us to modify climate in adaptation to our tropical ape conditions necessary for survival.

We visit the highest mountain summits, deepest ocean depths, live in all climates with bubbles of tropical conditions our ape species demands so daytime summer heat of Phoenix doesn't kill us, nor does the winter freeze in Fairbanks.

The speed of this evolution of technology is astonishing. Humans essentially ceased evolving because we can "evolve" the environment around us.
